Glorious to pass over an offense

Isaiah 29:21 “That make a man an offender for a word,...” “Inadvertently spoken, unwarily dropped, without any bad design or ill meaning; or for a word misplaced or misconstrued…” (From John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible. It seems that we modern Americans often search in crevices just to find reasons to be offended. If it is glorious to pass over an actual offense, perhaps it is also glorious not to find one where it is not.

Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
